UNITED STATES 

Department D— Kish and Fisheries 

HMKRD 

For a good representation of fishing tackle, comprising rods, reels, lines, 
hooks, snells, flies, fly-books, floats, etc., of good quality, and displayed in a neat 
and attractive manner. 

The special features of this exhibit are Bethabara-wood rods, double enamel 
split bamboo rods, paraffined silk and linen lines, patent fly-books, twisted leaders 

and snells. 

The Bethabara rods show great strength, pliability and resiliency, with good 

balance and action. 

The double enamel split bamboo rods, being made entirely of the outer 
coating or silicious rind of bamboo, by replacing the pith or centre of the strips 
with the outside enamel, are the strongest that can be made with this material, 
being in reality double rods, constructed both inside and outside with the enamel 
coating of bamboo. 

The paraffined silk and linen lines are well finished and smooth, and fulfil 
every requirement in a water-proof line. 

The patent fly-books are well made of good material, and the metal clips are 
of a good practical pattern for securely holding the snells and flies. 

The twisted leaders and snells are cable-laid, and will not untwist by use. 

The artificial flies are neat, strong and well made. 

The entire exhibit is excellent and very creditable, showing commendable 

progress.

GENUINE 



Bethabara Wood Rods 



AND 



What People Say Who Hav? Osed Them 



Bethabara Wood Rods have now been in the market about fourteen 
years and have given great satisfaction, as is abundantly proved by the 
many unsolicited testimonials we are constantly receiving from persons 
using them. 

We carry in stock a large variety, and will make special rods to 
order. They are stronger than Split Bamboo, will not take a set or curve 
like other wood, and are as tough and elastic. 

They are all HAND-MADE, carefully adjusted and fully warranted 
in every respect. 

Owing to the great reputation our Bethabara Rods have made for 
themselves, a few rod dealers have placed in the market a dark colored green 
heart wood and call the rods made from it Bethabara wood. Hereafter all 
genuine Bethabara Rods will have the following 



BETHABARA 



on each rod. 



MALCOLM A. SHIPLEY'S 



TESTIMONIALS 



It gives me great pleasure to testify to the many good qualities of your Betha- 
bara wood rods. I bought one of you two years since, and have taken over 300 
black bass with it, and on February 19"last, I took a carp of 8 pounds 1 ounce on 
it without a reel. The rod weighs only 9 ounces, and to-day it is as straight as an 
arrow, and shows no signs of the hard work I put it to. I cheerfully recommend 
Bethabara wood rods to any one wanting the best rod made. 

JACOB ECSTEIN, Palmyra, N. J. 



Trenton. 
The longer I use my No. 805 Bethabara rod made by you the better I like 
it. On the Susquehanna this Eall, at Conowingo, I killed an 8-pound striped bass 
with it in very swift water. I thought to myself as the fight waxed hot, " Well, 
my little fellow this will curve your back", but after the fish was boated the rod 
straightened up again as if proud of its performance. 

DR. THOS. S. STEVENS. 



Gkemantown, Pa. 
Gentlemen : It gives me great pleasure to write you about a Bethabara 
wood rod I bought from you some years ago, and I can truly say it was more satis- 
factory than any rod I ever owned, and I have fly-fished for nearly fifteen years 
with nearly every kind of rod. One of the hardest tests I gave my rod was in the 
celebrated Raquette River, Adirondacks, N. Y. Here I caught five large strings 
of black bass " in the rapids," weighing as high as two pounds or over, and nearly 
every large fish I caught I thought would be the last of my rod, but I finally came 
to the conclusion that it could not be broken, properly handled. I might also say 
that as a trout rod, I caught many a fine string. Yours truly, 

FRANK BIRD GUMMEY, M.D. 



Philadelphia. 
Dear Sirs : It gives me great pleasure to testify to the general excellence of 
your Bethabara rods. I have used one of your bait rods for a number of years, and 
it has given me perfect satisfaction. I have every confidence in it, and believe it 
will stand any legitimate use to which it may be put. 

Very truly yours, THOS. T. BALTZ. 



Canadensis, Pa. 
Gentlemen : The 4-ounce Bethabara has proved very satisfactory, and I an- 
ticipate a great deal of enjoyment out of it. It is so strong that I mean to test it 
on bass in a near-by lake, where I have already caught a 3-pound fish on another 
rod. E. W. GREENOUGH. 



A friend who has seen the rods you made for me, is greatly pleased with them. 
Of the Bethabara he said : " A better rod was never made," in which sentiment 
I heartily agree. FRED D. ROBBINS, Boston, Mass.

MALCOLM A. SHIPLEY'S 



A NEW DEPARTURE 

,N SPLIT BAMBOO RODS 



Shipley's Double "Enamel" Rods. 

Calcutta bamboo, from which all first-class split rods are made, 
grows in the shape of a hollow tube, with knots varying from eighteen 
inches to two feet apart. The wood which forms this tube is from 
one-eighth to three-eighths of an inch thick, and is composed of an 
outer shell of enamel or flint, and an inner portion of soft pithy wood, 
the latter largely predominating. In the ordinary split bamboos both 
the pith and enamel are used. (See cut.) 







In making our double enamel rods, we split off all the pith or soft 
part and cement two pieces of the enamel together, breaking joints — i. e., 
not allowing one knot, which is the weak portion of split bamboo to 
come directly over the other. 



,'• v ■-■\ 

1 " ; - . 1 

IIP' 



By this method we can make joints solid, in place of a hollow tube, 
as all split bamboo rods are in the butt joint, and frequently in the 
second and tip. 

Rods made in this manner are the strongest and best that can be 
produced of bamboo. They are all finished in the finest possible style. 
Finest German silver, banded and milled ferrules, solid reel plates, very 
closely silk- wrapped in two and three colors. The cork handle grips are 
made of solid cork, not a thin sheet glued around the handle. Each 
rod is carefully hand-made and fully warranted, and finely balanced. 
All have two tips and are put up on a velvet-covered grooved wood form.

What a few people who have bought Bethabara Wood 
of us have to say about it. 

Seymoue, Conn. 
I bought Bethabara wood from you twelve years ago, and made a rod which has 
always been ready for business, and always done its share of the work in landing 
'the fish. I now wish to make another light one, also a heavy one, for I intend this 
winter to have a try at tarpon. Respectfully yours, 

R. A. HAMILTON. 



Evanston, III. 
The Bethabara wood ordered from you on the 10th instant, received, and 
proves to be all that can be desired. Some time ago I tried several other dealers 
with deplorable results. In very few cases was the wood worth the freight I paid 
for getting it here., I have come to the conclusion that you are the one and only 
!i ifirm in the country that carries a first-class article in Bethabara wood. I shall use 
yours only in the future. Truly yours, JNO. R. SCHNEIDER. : 



Plainfield, N. J. 
Gentlemen : Will you kindly send me two pieces of Bethabara wood. I 
think it can't be beat. Both my butt pieces are Lance wood, and I am going to 
make the rods all Bethabara wood. Yours respectfully, 

E. J. VAN NAME. 



MALCOLM A. SHIPLEY'S 



Independence, Mo. 
Gentlemen : Some time since I bought Bethabara wood enough to make a 
rod, which I have used two seasons. Its weight is 6£ ounces, and I can land an 
8-pound fish with it. Now I want the very best Bethabara you have— straight 
grained and tough. Yours, JOHN A. FANN. 



Evanston, III. 
I have been getting my wood from Utica, N. Y., but find it very unsatisfac- 
tory; in fact some of it turned out to be green-heart. 

Kespectfully yours, JOHN R. SCHNEIDER. 



Prom the Bethabara wood sent to me I made an 8-ounce fly rod. Well, to 
say I was pleased would be " drawing it mild ". I found I could cast off further, 
more accurately and easier than with any other rod I ever used, not excepting the 
old reliable split bamboo. ASA P. STEWART, Grand Rapids, Mich. 



New York. 

Gentlemen : Enclosed find measurements for a tip which you will kindly 

turn out for me of Bethabara. If you remember it was about a year ago that you 

made a heavy butt joint and tip, and a light first joint for me, and I have never 

been better pleased in my life. Yours truly, 

D. D. SCHMIDT. 



Asbuey Park, N. J. 
I take great pleasure in expressing my opinion of Bethabara. I have now three 
rods made from wood purchased from you, and in each case they have given me the 
highest satisfaction. One rod that I have had made for river-fishing, I have used 
frequently for sea-fishing, casting from the beach, using as heavy as six ounces of 
lead. Every angler knows that the strain on a light rod, occasioned by this method 
of fishing is enormous, yet my Bethabara, is as straight as when first built. In 
point of resiliency, I consider this is to woods what steel is to metals, "The King". 
Enclosed find order for wood for two more rods. Respectfully, 

LEONARD HTJLIT, 
Vice-President Fish Protective Assn., Monmoth Co., N. J. 



Palmyra N. J. 
Gentlemen : Kindly make me a Bethabara tip to fit enclosed ferrule. My 
old tip just " busted ", but I guess I can stand it, as I built this rod in '84, and it 
has seen severe service every season since; often on perch grounds with heavy 
sinker, and is to-day as straight as when made. Yours truly, 

EDW. D. STEWART.

Selected Best. 

(Genuine) Bethabara Wood. 

To those persons who know this wood nothing need be said of it. 
ITo those who do not we can only say we are the only importers of it in 
the country, and for rod purposes it is far superior to any material we 
.know of, being stronger, more elastic, and will not take a set or curve like 
other woods, and for fly rods especially, has a mellowness of action truly 
unattainable in any other material now used for fine rods, as our many 
mnsolicited testimonials attest. All genuine wood will have trade mark 
ion each piece. (See page 5) .

"Artificial Flies and How to Make Them." 

By M. A. Shipley. 

This book, containing 33 pages and bound in cloth, gives practical, 
clear and concise directions, illustrated with wood cuts, in the beautiful 
art of fly-making, and the directions in it are so plain and simple that 
any one may easily learn to tie his own flies. Will be sent post-paid to 
any address for $1.00. 




This is one of the most practical works on the subject of fly-making that has 
ever been issued in either the United States of America or Europe. Each process, 
from that of tying the hackles on a "spider" or palmer fly to the elaborate and 
artistic work on wing flies is plainly illustrated, so that the merest tyro can become 
an expert. — American Angler.

Shipley's Patent Fly Books. 




Patented September 22, 1885. 

We desire to call your attention to our improved Spring Clasp^in 
these books, as by its use the gut is kept straight and a,t full length, and 
each fly in its place, regardless of the length of the gut, and its use does 
not increase the hulk of the book nor add to its weight. Flies can be 
placed in position and be removed far more readily than in the old style. 

This improvement has been used by many of our best Fly fisher- 
men, who pronounce it the most perfect fly book in the market.
